To model environments for clouds that use virtual system patterns (VSPs), on the
server, import a virtual system pattern as a resource template and then create a blueprint that is
based on the resource template.
Before you begin
- Connect to a cloud that uses VSPs. See Connecting to clouds through IBM UrbanCode Deploy. The following clouds that use
VSPs are supported by the IBM UrbanCode Deploy
server:
- IBM Cloud Orchestrator version
2.4 or later
- IBM SmartCloud® Orchestrator versions 2.2 and
2.3
- IBM PureApplication® System version
1.0 or later
- IBM Workload Deployer version 3.1.0.6 or later
- Create an application.
Restriction: The names of IBM UrbanCode Deploy elements,
such as environments, applications, and resource templates, that you use with a VSP cannot contain
asterisk (*), backslash (\), or forward slash (/) characters.
About this task
This method applies only to clouds that use VSPs. To model environments on clouds through
OpenStack Heat, see Modeling environments for clouds through OpenStack Heat.
Procedure
- Create VSPs on the target cloud. See Creating virtual system patterns for resource templates.
- Import the VSPs as resource templates. See Importing resource templates from clouds.
- Create blueprints for the environments. See Creating blueprints for cloud environments that use virtual system patterns.
